Chantelle had claimed they met each other at a boxing event, where he asked for her number.

The reality star had told The Sun: “Everyone knows how much I’m in love with Anthony Joshua. I met him at this boxing thing. He’s absolutely beautiful. We swapped numbers – well, he asked for my number.”

Joshua has a 7 month old son with his on-off girlfriend Nicole and the proud dad recently shared a Twitter snap of the 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 after winning the IBF world heavyweight title.

“Achieved one of my goals as a professional boxer! Now the dust has settled it’s time to relax with my lil champ JJ,” he wrote.

Chantelle later said: “When I found out he had a 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 I felt like he’d cheated on me.”

But Anthony’s reps told The Mirror: “Anthony is 100 per cent not dating Chantelle and does not even remember meeting her.”

The boxer also appeared to confirm he was single while responding to comments about his manhood from fellow boxer Tyson Fury.

The 26 year old said: “Fury has got a woman, I haven’t, so there’s no competition over our manhood. He should be settled down with his wife, not worrying about anyone else’s manhood.

“I like to separate things and focus on training and fighting. That’s what is important.”

OK! Online has contacted Chantelle’s reps for comment.
